Bug Description

SRU Justification

Impact:

The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 2.6.32.26+drm33.11 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.

Accepted linux into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I ran the kernel-* tests from lp:qa-regression-testing against the -proposed kernel on -ec2 (this is the linux-ec2 variant) under both x86_64 and i386 and did not see any regressions. Minimal test, but something.
